8am scheduled departure. Got delayed by 2 guys on the bus having got spoken to re a fight they had last night. The plan was to follow the other tour bus who were also going to Avignon... But we (of course) had issues... Blocked oil filter affecting the throttle. {WTF moment #1}.
Actual departure: 8:45am.
ETA: 4:30pm (my guess: 6:30pm).
Another long long bus ride today. Not sure whether my butt can take it anymore! ...and it's only day #5! haha..
What's worse... The stench coming from the onboard toilet came wafting through in phases, making our trip even more enjoyable *sarcasm sign*. and we had to happen to get a seat near the toilet today .. frikin. How am I gonna last the 28 days??!
At 4;30 we r still on the road, at Lyon. Nowhere near Avignon. {WTF moment #2}. no surprise there.
We FINALLY arrive to 'Acotel Confort' at 8:30. We rock up to the hotel and start unloading the luggage when... Luke comes dashing back out from reception (still with his Topd*** hat on he's had on all day).... We are at the wron hotel {WTF moment #3}
Poor guy. We agreed he was too dorky and too nice to be mad or blame him for what we are experiencing on this tour. Especially since he kept the Topd*** hat on all day!
Taxis were ordered for us to go into the Avignon town centre. After a quick walking tour, myself, Anjuli, Andie & James went for a comforting French/Italian meal with a bottle of a cote du Rhone red wine (of course). After many laughs at dinner, it was topped off by a delicious amarena gelato plus some planking shots outside the historical and grand Palais des Papes. We couldn't stop laughing hysterically as me and Andie had alot of difficulty getting out of our planking position ... (we were positioned over two concrete blocks...but the main reason was probably cos we were old.. :/)
A great end to an otherwise dismal and tiring day!! Barcelona tomorrow!!
